Episode description
Howard Jacobson on why we need to preserve Bohemia.
London's Soho, he says, is the nearest the UK has to a Bohemia but "you don't sniff aesthetic licence in the streets of Soho as you once did".
But one day recently, writes Howard, Soho recovered its spirit - at the funeral of the leopard-skin jacketed "Prince of Soho".
Producer: Adele Armstrong.
